Arizona Rattlers
The best team in the league this season has been Arizona who goes into the last week of the season with a record of 15-2. They will open up the playoffs at home on Friday, July 29th as they host the defending champion Spokane Shock in Arena Football betting. The Rattlers went into the weekend having won eight in a row with their last loss coming in Week 10 to Chicago. Arizona will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Jacksonville Sharks
The Sharks will have home field advantage throughout the American Conference playoffs. The Sharks have looked disinterested of late as they have lost their last three games. It will be interesting to see if they can turn it on again in the playoffs. Jacksonville will host either Georgia or Orlando on Friday in a game that can be seen on the NFL Network.
Chicago Rush
The Rush are the second seed in the National Conference and will open up at home against Dallas. Chicago won the Central Division this season and they have won eight of their last nine games overall. They are also one of only two teams to beat Arizona this season. The Rush will be favored against Dallas in Arena Football betting but it is worth noting that Dallas went into the final week of the season with the top point spread mark in the league at 11-5.
Cleveland Gladiators
Cleveland is the second seed in the American Conference and they will face either Georgia or Orlando in the other playoff matchup in the conference. That game will be played on Sunday, July 31st.
